EYEGLASS. e

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 264,225, dated September 12, 1882. Application filed February 3, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMANN BAUER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Eyeglasses, of which the following is a specification.

.This invention relates to an improved device for securing the nose-piece and nosespring to the lens, as hereinafter fully explained.

This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a face view of an eyeglass constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my fastening devices on an enlarged scale.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the nose-spring. B B are the two lenses, and a a are the nose-pieces. The nose-pieces fit the inner surfaces of the nose-spring and their outer ends are firmly secured to the outer ends of the spring by rivets b b or any other suitable means, while theirinner ends are retained in position by means of clamps c 0. These clamps form integral parts of my fastening devices O O, which are constructed with two cars, d d, and a curved shank, c, on the inner end of which are formed the clamps c, Fig. 2, the whole being made by preference in one piece of sheet metal or any other suitable maof a single rivet, and the operation of cleaning the lens is materially facilitated. At the same time the outer end of the nose-piece is rendered slightly yielding,'so thatit can adapt itself to the shape of the nose. What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r 'The combination, with the nose-spring, the

nose-pieces, and the lenses, of fastening de vices, each constructed of a curved shank, e,

two ears, d d, intended to be secured to the x lens, and a clamp, c, substantially as and for the purpose shown and described.

In testimony whereofI have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
